They mentioned on newsradio that he seemed to be a bit tentative and might have an injury? is that true?

Not sure, have noticed strapping around his chest and back, but go figure it could be anything...
He's played a lot out of the middle in recent weeks, I'd be betting on bruised ribs or something through his core but it's not having a massive impact, he through his body around a bit tonight...

He just looks like he's going through the motions.
He's not playing badly, just lacking the spark he usually has.
Don't know if it's injury related, personal issues or he's just not sharp, but there is definitely something there.

It looks to me he's bulked up a lot more, when the ball was in defence a carlton player was bowled over by a cat and I thought to myself "that actually looks like Josh Hunt"...it was Jimmy looking like Conan.
Not sure wether this may have slowed him down a bit.

i reckon there was touch of (potentially negative) arrogance with his shank, all alone, cantering along from fifty - a bit of a : "done this before, no need to work harder to get closer and straighter" vibe.
maybe. maybe not. just sayin' it looked a lil lackadaisical.

Arrogance is the absolute last thing we'd ever have to worry about with Jimmy.

Could have come closer, I agree, but he has done it before, many times. He knew he had time and normally would easily make that distance. I thought he just slowed down to steady the shot. It was a shocking kick in the end, but he wasn't the only one to do that on Saturday night.

Agree about lacking spark, but my guess is he's carrying some kind of injury.
Further to that has been playing on the wing IMO to keep him away from the tough physical clashes in the centre square.
If he was injured they would surely give him a rest and get him right for september giving we have guys like prismall who still deserves another run and stokes who can pinch hit in the middle.
People just expecting a little much big Jim, but thought he played quite well on Saturday night, hes no Gary Ablett remember.

Jimmy B is awesome. 2 Hitouts this week. Good to see him helping out.
I also see G Ablett didn't kick a goal and gave away a free.
Hey he's no James Bartel.

I agree with this. It was said in another thread that he is injured at the moment but it is manageable.
